By Dante A. Murray
My nervous breakdown was a lousy break for all concerned.
Vacation plans changed, down payments forfeited.
Returning home after months of electric shock therapy, I was instructed by several of my immediate family to “never do THAT again.”
If I felt myself slipping too far down The Rabbit Hole and the washing machine began repeating its mantra of “MoonJack” on the second cold rinse cycle, I’d do some deep breathing exercises.
Show some consideration for the rest of your family, was the message in the bottle.
I realized the error of my ways and decided to have my next breakdown catered.
Glad the EST was successful, Dante. When I was in the mental hospital, I was told that, after a breakdown, you came out a better person!. Congrats.
Thanks for your feedback.
Love the ironic twist at the end!
Phenomenal. Such a candid and searing take on family.
Nicely done, Dante.
Yup! WHEN you have the chance and are able plan for it… go first class. Well done.
Surreal, totally off the wall, and typical for you, Dante. Another whopping-good winner!
love, love, love, love, loved it.
Thank you all for your feedback. I always look forward to how a piece will be received. I value your comments, any and all of them.
